Class Charts

The Local Authority has alerted us to an incident in the Bellevale area of Liverpool that has been reported to the Police. This involved a male adult in a car who acted inappropriately/suspiciously and approached a child. Whilst we do not wish to alarm parents whilst the police consider the matter we would encourage our families and carers to continue to ensure their child travels safely to and from school and is safe within the community. We are not able to provide any details of the incident.

Pupils, thank you and well done for helping our school achieve Gold - for the Attendance Quality Mark Award. This is a great achievement and it is down to you and your parents recognising the importance of being in school and attending as many days as you possibly can. It proves what you can do when you put your mind to it and you have shown determination and commitment to ensuring you make the best of every school day.
